#spoutories My 8th grade English teacher enforced using "lay" to describe placing an object like a book on a table, and insisted we must use #lie to describe a human being placing oneself on a bed or sofa for a nap, so I think of her whenever I listen to Bob Dylan sing "Lay Lady Lay" - all wrong😆.

In response to Bren.
She was also the first adult I ever met with a hyphenated last name, and she had a crooked index finger which was always pointed at us when she wanted to emphasize something, or call somebody out for acting up. She is surely rolling over in her grave as "lay" and "lie" are often confused nowadays.
